Write that poem and move on, edit a little more but only so long as each word still feels real
The rhyme was beginning to cease, whichever way the pen went it just didn’t seem to please the one person who it should
There he sat, hood-headed with a half empty bottle of vodka in hand, fastened to his bed
The fear had set in and one thing he did know, that it was high time he steered clear of the thing he had always been warned about, the impending dread
